About the role

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join our back-office QA team (CRM, financial operations, accounting, etc). The product contains complex business logic, so manual testing is a significant part of the role.

At the same time, we are building a new automation stack with Python + Playwright (UI and API) and gradually migrating existing Java tests. We need a fullstack QA engineer (UI, API, data) who can work confidently across existing and new automation approaches while helping us evolve the overall testing strategy.

Qualifications

You will:

• Analyze requirements, clarify edge cases, and proactively surface risks and missing acceptance criteria
• Perform hands-on manual testing of critical flows in CRM and financial operations
• Design and implement UI and API automation using Python + Playwright
• Create reliable test data via APIs where possible, fall back to environment specific fixtures when required
• Work with existing Java-based tests, supporting them while gradually migrating to the new stack
• Validate data and state transitions across UI, API, and database, including access control, permissions, filters, and audit critical behaviors
• Maintain stable parallel execution, reduce flakiness, and improve test diagnostics
• Contribute to CI pipelines and reporting to keep feedback fast and reliable
• Review code, mentor teammates, and help the team grow stronger in both automation and testing fundamentals
• Work closely with developers to debug issues and support smooth releases

Job Description

You have:

• Strong test analysis and test design skills, ability to build risk-based coverage from business requirements
• Confidence in manual testing of complex business logic and ability to turn critical flows into stable automation
• Strong backend and API testing skills (REST, data validation, understanding of business flows)
• Solid hands-on experience with Python and Playwright for UI automation
• Experience structuring or improving automation frameworks, not only writing test cases
• Practical experience with CI pipelines, test reporting, and maintaining stable execution (Gitlab CI, Jenkins, Allure TestOPS)
• Good understanding of test data management, parallel execution, isolation, and flaky test investigation
• Ability to work with SQL for validation, data checks and migration review
• Comfortable using Linux for logs, debugging, and environment checks
• Clear communication and ability to collaborate in a product team

Nice to have:

• Experience with Java-based UI automation (Selenide, TestNG)
• Experience with LLM (Claude Code)
• Experience in fintech, crypto, or other transaction-heavy systems
• Experience working in microservice-based environments (Docker, Kubernetes, observability tools)
• Experience with performance, stability, or reliability testing for backend services
• Ability to read and understand Go code
